When will Star Tours reopen at Disney's Hollywood Studios?

Disney officials will only say "sometime in 2011."

What is the status of the project?

"Almost all of the media for the show is complete. Most of the film was completed last year," says Tom Fitzgerald, executive vice president and senior creative executive at Walt Disney Imagineering. "We've been spending a lot of time programming the show and all the many, many things that have to be done in terms of finalizing scripts and tracks, etc."

Will there be changes to the building?

"The time period that we've chosen for the story this time around is causing us to go through and make some adjustments throughout the attraction," Fitzgerald says. The exterior will remain largely the same, he says.

Will the story line be controlled by guests?

No. "We're in control of the storytelling, but it certainly is immersive," Fitzgerald says.

Will there be multiple versions or endings?

"What we're saying to fans is that there's more than one place that you're going to in this attraction," Fitzgerald says.
